  5. Seems to the case these days. Leave the country and return, you reset the 90-day clock and if you are still in-county at 90 days, that report has to be done in person. You could do it in person from day 75 to six days after the due date. People say seven days after, but as the due date generally counts as day 1 of the grace period in effect it's six, but YMMV. In Bangkok, report at Chaengwattana Immigration, affectionately referred to as CW.
  6. People are getting it, that she's a phony. It's unravelling, the campaign is collapsing. She's also getting a lot of booing recently, and even got an earful of it earlier at this church. And these are her people! Or supposed to be. https://t.ly/jpgDT
  7. That's why I said 'most likely', and not 100 percent, because, you just never know. And who knows? Could be that last report you have questions about may be in their system as 'approved'? Take the good outcome and move on. Yes, the Jomtiem Immigration office seems to generate higher stress levels, for both some of the people working there and some of the foreigners attending it. (Though my own dealings with that office years ago were OK, no issues.) Just best to make sure you've got your 'duck's in a row' (prepared with docs, copies, etc.) whenever you have to do anything there, or at any immigration office for that matter.

  9. Just go in immigration, submit the 90-day report for this cycle. They'll most likely catch that you didn't do the last one. The fine is 2000 baht. You're not going to be cut any slack on your explanation, but you can tell the story, at least explain why you missed it. One issue going forward you need to understand when submitting online. After you have submitted the application, the 'Success' button and email does not mean you've completed the report. Just means they have accepted it for consideration. You will have to wait some time before you get either an 'approved' or 'rejected' email. If you don't receive the email, and it's getting to be several days after your 'successful' application, you can check the status of your application at the website. Sometimes the email doesn't get sent/received/sent to spam, so you can be proactive and check the status at the website.
  10. It's quite revelatory to see the media promoting McConnell as some sort of paragon of virtue. How many years has he been in the Senate? Almost 40 years! 18 years as the Republican leader. That's a long time. Too long. All during it all he's been an arch-enemy of the Dems. Wonder what's changed? McConnell really needs to go away.
  11. I was looking at the appointments page for CW yesterday afternoon, for retirement extension slots. Looked quite normal, didn't see any 'blackout' of available slots.
  12. This is what you really need to get clarity on. As noted in one of the replies, there are a number of steps to renewing a U.S. passport, and if your friend hasn't specifically said he's filled out those forms, have photos made, paid, etc., I'd be concerned. Even if an agent undertakes handling the process, the applicant has to be involved at points, at the start for sure. Bottom line, find out for a fact if the renewal has or has not been initiated. If not, your friend should take possession of his passport ASAP and do the renewal process himself. Yes, he might need some help, as you describe he's older, and while not overly complicated, there are a lot of steps to complete and it could be challenging for some older applicants. I renewed my passport a few months ago, and it went pretty smooth. The embassy would like everything done by mail and online payments for the renewal and the post return service. (Thai Post is what I used.) https://th.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/passports/instructions-for-ds-82-processing-by-mail-and-online-fee-payment-for-u-s-citizens-residing-in-thailand/ Embassy info, phone number is there. https://th.usembassy.gov/embassy-consulate/

  15. Exactly. They don't care. They just write off fraud as the cost of doing business. They are not interested in any details one would have to assist in investigating these cases.
  16. I use Bangkok Bank, 'the 800K bank deposit method', and have never made any small deposit on the day of extension. I see the recommendation in several posts to make a small deposit on the extension day and update the book, but I never have. Just do an update only of the book on that day, which shows a balance matching the amount of the 'bank letter', which I get the day before in town. That's worked for me, would it for you is the question. This is for at CW.

  18. My experience on the topic. This is for CW. Got the new passport in July (issue date in June.) Remained in-country. Late September time to do 90-dayer. Honesty's the best policy, submitted online with the new passport number, expecting a rejection response to come back. Yep. Although the notation in email said 'first report after leaving the country requires in-person report', words to that effect. Appointment to do the 90-day report, with plans to do the stamps transfer while I'm out there, so I am prepared for that. Pull up to the 90-day desk, with the form, copies and both passports. Clerk tells me to get the stamps transferred to the new passport first. Wish that had been spelled out, as I would have done that first, but whatever. Went to the ticket-issue counter, explained the situation and was given what looked like a special-type number for the L (extensions) counters. All in all, took maybe 30 minutes to get the passports back to me with stamps (except for re-entry permit) transferred to the new passport. Back to the 90-day desk, to get that squared. Into the checking of everything, the TM30 was asked for. I had gotten the rental agent to file one in the 'new' system the day before, using the new passport number. Seems like either the fact that the new number was used, prior to 'official' transfer, or the 'days of stay', which was 0 on the document I had, caused the clerk to tell me that the TM30 was invalid. Seemed like she was not going to be able to process the 90-dayer. Oh boy..... But, after a minute or two of talking she did go ahead and process the 90-day report, 'just this time', telling me to file an updated TM30, make sure there's an ample amount of days stay on it. Maybe my rental agent didn't quite get that part of completing the registration, I don't know because I'm not able to see what the registration site looks like, it's not under my purview. Then went to the re-entry desks and got that stamp transferred, took about 20-30 minutes. Short of the long, for CW: Transfer the main PP stamps before doing a 90-day report. An updated TM30 was asked for, in my case. Yours may vary.
